Ill just state the obvious here I'm not a Cummins guru and Im knee deep in stuffing a '97 12v into my 1972 chevy. And the other day i came across a damn good deal, a blown up 06 common rail motor complete with 90hp injectors for $150 the only thing that was wrong with it was the number one injector stuck open and burnt the cylinder wall. So i parted everything out except the head and the exhaust manifold. I had the head magnafluxed and seal tested and all it needed was one valve on the number one cylinder. Long story short my question is the 06 head the same as say a 98 or 99 head so i can make my 72 chevy a p-pumped 24v

 

the head is different, you could make it work several guys have put CR heads onto their 24v engines but in your case you would be looking at changing the pistons since your short block is 12v and has offset bowls in the pistons

 

ok good thats what i needed to know....what do u think the head is worth as it sits..ready to be put on a truck

 

Brand new $1100 from Cummins.

 

they go for $500 in the salvage yards around here

 

Well its been tested by the local machine shop and I had the only bad valve replaced so its a good used low milage head so im guessing somewheres around 850 to 900
